Chapter 549: What’s wrong with your brain?


    Making it taste good isn’t easy, let alone with just salt.


    Just thinking about that taste is enough to make anyone want to puke.


    Looks like the folks from Pin Academy don’t have anything special.


    They’re not as grand as they’re made out to be.


    That’s what ke Walker was thinking when he saw people from Pin Academy individually pulling out various herbs and spices from their bags.


    Not just them, even Larry Bet, Yellen Brooks, and Natalie Campbell had some!


    Everyone’s bag contained fresh spices.


    ke Walker was unsettled, he got up abruptly and walked towards them.


    “Why are there so many spices in your bags?” ke Walker asked in shock.


    He also looked closely and observed that many of the spices they had were duplicates.


    “Were these already in your bags?” ke Walker questioned, “This is so unfair from the Competition! Why giveit to you and not me?”


    “Of course it’s not from thepeition.” Leon Hernandez rolled his eyes, “We found these ourselves along the way.”


    “Haha! You could at least try to make your lies believable!” ke Walker clearly didn’t buy it, “Where in the wilderness would you find ready-made spices?”


    “And besides, these spices all require different growing conditions, yet they’re all growing together here? In such variety? What’s the point of supermarkets then? You might as well encourage everyone to pick things in the wild!”


    ke Walker was both annoyed and amused.


    Do they think he’s a fool?


    “Thepetition couldn’t have only prepared these spices for you and not for me, right?” ke Walker said coldly, “Are they nning to eliminate me?”


    The audience watched this scene clearly.


    “Oh my god! Just eliminate this fool, I can’t stand him anymore.”


    “With this level of intelligence, he really shouldn’t be in public ces anymore.”


    Aiden Huxley responded bluntly: “You were the one who didn’t listen to Cindy rke’s analysis before, assuming she was just trying to waste your time, and you ran off without hearing the key information. Who’s to me for that?”


    Over at Cynthia Florine’s side, she had already gotten her fire ready. She casually advised ke Walker: “I advise you to stop ming thepetition.”


    Currently, for the sake of maintaining the fairness of thepetition, thepetition wouldn’t do anything to him.


    But once thepetition is over, it’s hard to say what would happen to his career.


    As everyone knows, Adrian Zhekova can be quite petty.


    Those under hismand follow his lead daily.


    They’re not very broad-minded either.


    “You were the one who couldn’t be bothered to listen to Cindy’s words, even interrupting her.” Cynthia Florine mocked, “How unfortunate, because after you left, Cindy continued to share her insights with us, exining that this wilderness is artificial and was manufactured by thepetition.”


    “I think, in order to ensure our safety and to prevent us fromcking resources and having nothing but a pitiful amount of salt for our ingredients, thepetition had nted many fruits and spices along the way.” Bartholomew Bailey chimed in, “As long as we observe carefully, these things are practically everywhere.”


    “Otherwise, do you think there would be a straymb in the wild? A wildmb?” Parker Honi raised his chin, pointing at themb leg that ke Walker was roasting on a fire not too far away, “If this really is the wild, and suddenly there’s amb walking around, it must belong to someone. Right?”


    “And you ughtered it without giving it a second thought, how is that different from stealing?” Parker Honi scoffed, “Knowing there’s an owner and you’d still kill theirmb, your moral character is problematic!”


    “Hahaha!” Aiden Huxley gave a thumbs up, “Parker, when did you be so discerning? Your words make you sound intelligent!”


    “You might as well shut up.” Ava Brown looked frustrated, “Watch out, or Parker might beat you up after thepetition.”


    “I…” Now, ke Walker was in a difficult position.


    Well… he admitted he hadn’t thought much before.


    Ignoring ke Walker, Parker Honi turned to speak to Aiden Huxley: “This guy isn’t very bright.”


    Aiden Huxley looked at ke Walker with sympathy.


    To be called unintelligent by a fool, you must be really unfortunate.


    Parker Honi: “…”


    ke Walker: “…”


    What kind of look is that!


    “If you don’t believe us, you can check the inte reys after thepetition.” Cindy rke suggested, “You’ll see that thepetition did not give us anything extra. Thepetition gave everyone the same stuff, there were no special provisions for anyone, or anything specifically left out for you.”


    “There’s no need to rush to make usations right now. After you watch the rey and if things are indeed as you suspect, then you can confront thepetition. After all, the speed at which news spreads on the inte is rapid. If you were really treated unfairly, the inte crowd will certainly support you.” Cindy rke advised.


    ke Walker was in a tough spot, but he was gradually beginning to believe their words.


    It was his fault for not listening to Cindy rke’s entire exnation, which led him to miss out on key information.


    Cindy rke’sment provided him with an exit strategy.


    ke Walker silently returned to his fire rack.


    He couldn’t help but think back to the start of thepetition.


    Back then, Cindy rke was speaking at length without getting to the point, which eroded his patience.


    Now he finally understood.


    Cindy did it on purpose.


    She deliberately gave a lengthy exnation without getting down to the brass tacks.


    Knowing perfectly well he had objections towards her, she purposely dragged out her exnation, letting his impatience and anger rise.


    She wanted him to assume she had some ulterior motive.


    Because of that, he left early, and consequently missed out on critical pieces of information.


    Seeing everyone else pull out an array of rich spices,


    While he only had a bottle of salt.


    How could he possibly stand a chance of winning in this situation?


    Cindy rke, you’re really something else, incredibly cunning!


    Everyone else was practically worshipping Cindy rke.


    Duly eliminating an undesirablepetitor, while also winning everyone else’s affections.


    She truly killed two birds with one stone.


    ke Walker nced at Cindy rke hatefully.


    These people saw Cindy rke as a good person, expressing their gratitude towards her.


    But they don’t realize that his fate would be theirs too.


    Let’s not forget that they’re alsopetitors.


    For the next round of thepetition, Cindy rke will also aim to eliminate them!


    Thanking their ownpetitor?


    They must be out of their minds!


    By this time, night had already fallen, thanks to everyone lighting fires, the area was well lit.


    Cindy rke had arranged the dry pine branches and leaves she had gathered, and used the matches from her bag to start her fire.


    Then, she directly threw in the chicken she had already wrapped beforehand.


    Because she didn’t need to set up additional support or check for angles to prevent the branch support from copsing,


    All those would have taken up a lot of time.


    But for Cindy, all she needed to do was throw her ingredients in.


    As a result, Cindy was actually the first one to be ready.


    Observing this, Ava Brown asked: “Are you roasting Beggar’s Chicken?”


    Cindy rke nodded, “I thought it’d be quite suitable, and it really matches with this wilderness theme.”


    “Gosh, how did youe up with that?” Yellen Brooks asked admiringly, “You’re too quick. I didn’t think of that at all. Plus, this way the heat is evenly distributed. We need to constantly rotate and adjust our fires.”
